Cells at Work was an interesting show that showed the life of cells inside a healthy human body, dealing with the invasions of simple cold bacteria or other illnesses, and how the cells respond. Cells at Work! CODE BLACK! adds to this premise with a more sinister and adult tone. This time, the body of our cells is in constant turmoil due to an unhealthy lifestyle, with each episode acting as a PSA for the dangers of smoking, unprotected sex, and overconsumption of caffeine, to name a few.
Our protagonist, red blood cell AA2153, slowly begins to approach insanity over the difficulty of his daily tasks due to the dire state of his host body. Cue the help of white blood cell U-1196 who battles all the growing issues in the body, but there is some hope presented through the relationship between U-1196 and AA2153. The dire straights of Code Black are shown through the platelets, though, who in the original are cute and cheerful, are presented as sad, troubled, and dull in the face of increasingly unstable blood vessels, giving it a darker tone for a more mature audience. Nevertheless, Code Black is a fascinating insight into the world of biology through the medium of anime.
